My doctor said, “never go to a chiropractor!”

At my office this week, I spoke with several patients who let me know that their medical doctor (M.D.) told them never to get adjusted by a chiropractor. It always boggles my mind when I hear this said. Not only are chiropractic adjustments unbelievably safe but they help millions of desperate & hopeless people who were once sick, diseased, ill, & drugged regain their health naturally. It’s even stranger to me to hear this mentioned by a patient, especially when they walk through the door taking a list of medications, all at one time.

Any wonder why our medical system is the #1 cause of death every year? Is this what her medical doctor went to school for? To drug the death out of their patients! And yet, they have the nerve to tell their patients not to see a chiropractor or seek safe, effective chiropractic care. Who in the world do these people think they are? Do you think we’re kidding when we say medicine and our health care system is dangerous and kills people? In my opinion, unless you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency and require urgent/crisis care, then drugs and surgery can only hurt.

Want to learn the truth? Want to learn how you can avoid having to go see one of these doctor’s of death? Want to learn how chiropractic adjustments save millions of lives every year? Want to learn about the most powerful thing you & your family can do to live a long, healthy, drug-free life? Would you like to learn why chiropractic gets so many sick people well, and keeps so many well people well? Want to be liberated from the medical tyranny and chemical shackles that have chained your body and mind? Want to live a life without fear?

“SO DOC, HOW LONG IS THIS GOING TO TAKE?”

When you’ve lived the first 60 years of your life without worrying about getting any major disease or shortening your life with bad habits, you tend to think you’re invincible. When you’re young and in your 20’s and you feel pretty good, you’re pretty sure you’ll be around for a long time. You never expect a major illness to knock you over and change your life forever. That’s exactly what happened to me. However, it took 21 years to diagnose my illness and visits to many different doctors who had no clue what was wrong with me. They just wrote out prescriptions for my “mystery” illness. It took a liver biopsy to stop the madness.

The first sign that “something” wasn’t right happened in August, 1979 when my daughter was 6 months old. I bent over to pick her up and heard a “pop” in my neck. I spent the next few days in bed in severe, intractable pain. I went to the ER and they gave me Valium I.V. which didn’t help the pain at all. I had similar neck problems and back problems for many years after that until I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis in August, 2001. The doctor that diagnosed me was actually an orthopedic surgeon, a hand specialist. A classic symptom of this autoimmune disease is bilateral pain (both sides) in the same joints. Both of my wrists felt like they were on fire. I went to this doctor thinking I had carpal tunnel syndrome. It turned out that I did have CTS, but I also had a torn tendon in my right elbow. This doctor repaired the CTS and my elbow giving me full use of my arm again. I call it my bionic arm. However, when both of my wrists began to ache at the same time, the doctor ran blood work and that’s when I was diagnosed with RA. I was referred to a rheumatologist who said he was going to help me. He never promised a cure. He said a “remission” is the best I could hope for. So, for 5 years, I trusted my rheumatologist. But alas, something worse would strike in early 2005.

One of the medications I was taking was literally destroying my liver. It’s called Methotrexate. It is a cancer drug, but I didn’t know that until much later. It’s used for RA in very low dosages. When a patient is on this medication, they are supposed to have a liver biopsy after the dosage reaches approximately 3 grams. My doctor let me go much longer and my liver enzymes started going up. By that time, I had received over 6 grams of Methotrexate over the 5-year period. The only way I can describe a liver biopsy is that it feels like you’re being shot! You remain awake because you have to be able to take a deep breath on command. I was placed in a CT scanner, the biopsy needle was aimed at my liver and after I took the deep breath, the needle was shot into me like a bullet. Force is needed to break the liver capsule that protects the liver from injury. It felt like all my organs shifted to the other side of my body and then back again. It was the worst experience of my life. After the biopsy, I had to lie on my right side for 2 hours to prevent my liver from hemorrhaging. A pressure bandage was applied to help protect the wound. As I waited to be discharged, I thought a lot about what had just happened to me and that I would never allow it to happen again. I had already stopped the Methotrexate, but I vowed to stop everything else I was taking. After 5 years of treatment, I didn’t feel any better. In fact, my pain was worse than when I started treatment. I had constant sores in my mouth. I had gained a lot of weight from the steroids they gave me to help with the pain. I knew then that I needed another treatment mode and it wasn’t going to be more surgery and drugs.

One day, my husband asked me to go to a chiropractor with him. I was amused. I thought “what’s a chiropractor going to do about my RA?” He pretty much had to drag me into Dr. Dan’s office. Prior to chiropractic care, I had been taking most of the following drugs:

Prednisone, meloxicam, tramadol, hydrocodone, oxycodone (after surgeries), Plaquenil, methotrexate, Vioxx, Bextra, large doses of ibuprofen, Daypro, Indocin, naproxen, estradiol patch, Premarin, Prozac, Paxil, Nexium, Bentyl, Tagamet, Darvocet-N100, Ultracet (which contains Tylenol), Urocit-K, Soma, Flexeril, Deseryl, Ambien and Klonopin. Not all of these drugs were taken at the same time, and none of them stopped my pain or helped me sleep any better. That’s 28 drugs folks. I might have even forgotten a few.

My rheumatoid factor continued to climb, indicating my RA was still very active. Some of the drugs mentioned above were recalled, i.e., Vioxx and Darvocet-N100, for serious side effects (including death). I’m amazed I’m still alive. I’m also amazed I have never developed an ulcer from the many anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) I have taken throughout the years including aspirin. The steroid meds. (prednisone) worked but caused me to gain weight and caused severe insomnia. They are probably the reason I am developing early cataracts. Steroids also cause thinning of the skin, the outer surface of internal organs and contribute to osteoporosis. Steroid medications caused the death of my mother-in-law. Her bowel ruptured because of thinning of the intestinal wall. The drugs I was given were in addition to the many vaccines I received throughout my life including yearly influenza vaccines, MMR, hepatitis B, the pneumonia vaccine, and of course, booster shots, etc. I worked in a hospital for 23 years and these vaccines were readily available to hospital workers for free. I was also a guinea pig for the infamous swine flu vaccine in 1976. I am a polio sugar cube vaccine guinea pig and I got the small pox vaccine. I consider myself a drug/vaccine survivor. Guess what? Vaccines don’t work. I still got the flu and I still got pneumonia. I contracted chickenpox and measles on my own, but I have no idea why I was given the measles vaccine. Well, actually I do. Big Pharma says we are still vulnerable to get these diseases. Well, I am here to tell you, if you’re healthy, if you exercise and if you eat healthy, you won’t get sick. Period! And of course, get regular chiropractic adjustments.

I met Dr. Dan but I still wasn’t convinced that chiropractic was for me. I mean, how can an adjustment take away RA? However, I stayed with the program and today I can say that I am so much better. I still have problems, but nothing like I had before. My RA factor has gone way down. I don’t have the joint pain I used to have and I’m on the road to recovery. I’ve been a patient for 5 years now. I’ve attended 9 or 10 Extreme Makeovers and I’ve changed the way I eat. In fact, I’ve lost 20 pounds because of eating better. Unfortunately, I also lost an extra 10 to 15 lbs. during a recent illness, so I lost muscle as well. I am currently lifting weights to build up my muscle mass.

Recently, I experienced another set-back. I developed some lower lumbar pain (probably sciatica). That’s why I named this testimony “So, Doc, how long is this going to take?” I get frustrated when things go wrong. I get down when I get ill. Everybody does to some extent! But I’m here to tell you that if you’re a new patient at YFCC, results don’t happen overnight for some of us. I have big plans for my life. I want to swim again. I want to be able to walk 5 miles. I’ll be happy to begin with 1 mile at a time. I currently drink about 120 ounces of fluids per day usually mixed with Green Vibrance in alkalized water. I eat very little meat if any at all. Red meat causes inflammation and that’s one thing I don’t need. So, I eat fish. I take supplements recommended by Dr. Dan. Yes, I occasionally “cheat” and eat something I shouldn’t, but that keeps me accountable. No food is ever off the table forever and I keep that in mind. But, healthy foods are my usual choice. It gets easier and easier to avoid “bad” foods. It’s a gradual process. All artificial sweeteners are definitely off my list forever. I read labels and I listen to my body. If something hurts, I know I’ve done something I shouldn’t have.

I just celebrated my 65th birthday. That’s pretty late in life to start over, but it’s not too late! I want everyone to know it’s NEVER too late to change your lifestyle. Dr. Dan has been a godsend to me. I continue to learn from him, and even though things go wrong with me once in a while, I want him to know I’m staying the course. I can’t wait to be able to exercise more. I can’t wait until I can sleep through the night without pain. I can’t wait to be in a 5K (a 1K would be fine). For someone who’s been pretty much a toxic dump site for Big Pharma and Monsanto, I think I’ve made a lot of progress. I will see my miracle. It’s just taking longer than I want it to.

So, to anyone new to YFCC, please be patient. You too will heal. If you’ve been toxic for a long time, it may take longer to de-toxify. I’m proof of that. Never ever be discouraged. Stay tuned for updates on my healing. I plan to write more as healing changes occur.

Psychedelic Science, Magic Mushrooms, and Kaleidoscopic Cancer

Got Cancer? Why not treat it by taking a trip? Researchers say that say that LSD, mushrooms, and Ecstasy may be useful against the anxiety generated in patients with cancer. They also say that this is another small step toward showing that hallucinogenic drugs, famous but condemned in the 1960s, can one day help doctors treat conditions like cancer anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. The New York University conducted one of the many studies that is now going on in the U.S. and elsewhere with drugs such LSD, MDMA (Ecstasy) and psilocybin (the main ingredient in “magic mushrooms.” Experts emphasize that people shouldn’t try psilocybin on their own because it can be harmful, sometimes causing bouts of anxiety and paranoia.

Well, I believe this one tops ‘em all. It doesn’t get more absurd than this! There are thousands of ways to comfort and quell the stress and anxiety levels of patients suffering with cancer as well as other diseases. These scientists need to get a clue and in all of their trying with billions of research dollars (that they are flushing down the toilet), determine the cause of cancer and get these people well and give them back the life they deserve.

How is this done? Teach these scientists and their patients the Maximized Living lifestyle.

Walkin' in victory!

Just before I started the EMO, I decided to go off all of my antidepressants. I had been on the antidepressants for eighteen years and on seventeen different ones during those years. Every doctor that I had visited during those years told me that I would be on the drugs all my life. However, no matter what drug I was on or combination of drugs I was unstable emotionally. Constant depression hung on me even when on three or four pill cocktails. I was told that there was no other way. I had to take the pills and maybe a little exercise would help. When a person is that depressed, they do not feel like moving any part of their body. I would go to work half alive, sometimes contemplating suicide. I never got past the contemplating to the planning stage because of the support that my husband and my art gave kept me going.
In 2008, I received a VNS implant. It stimulates the Vagus Nerve as it goes into the brain and causes serotonin to be produced. It was the first time in my life that I experienced joy. I mean I experienced it at a different level than I had ever felt it before. Now I had something to fight for. Now I knew what life could be. But it took a mammogram finding a cyst in one of my breasts to shock me into trying even harder to lose weight and get my health back. So I started correcting my diet. I lost 40 lbs in 6 months. I went gluten free and pulled other things out of my diet, but the depression was still there. Even with the VNS and three antidepressants.
Then a relative recommended Dr. Dan. He looked at my x-rays and determined that the curvature of the neck that he calls the Arc of Life was not curved at all. This in itself could have caused my depression. So we started the adjustments. Over time the adjustments have made a massive difference in my mood, focus, and mental clarity.
At the same time Dr. Fernandez started the detoxification program to remove the excessive accumulation of lead from my body. I was feeling so good that I went cold turkey off the antidepressants. I didn’t tell anyone. I lasted about 4 weeks until I had to call Dr. Dan to tell him that I might have to go back on the drugs. Before going back on the drugs, I tried some great natural brain supplements to balance the brain as it needed it at that time. I came back to near normal faster than any antidepressant had ever done for me. I have up and down days, mostly up now and without the drugs that have ruled my life for eighteen years. When I needed support to just get through those tough days, the staff, and especially Dr. Dan were there to comfort me. This support has meant the world to me. No doctor has supported me in my quest for health as he has. I know that I have come home to where God wants me to be with my health.

Race for Health

In less than two weeks, you will have the opportunity to take part in an historic event. In less than two weeks, hundreds of people from all over Lake Mary and surrounding communities, hundreds of people from all over Seminole County and surrounding counties will join together for a cause. For the first time in history, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, grandmothers and grandfathers, sisters and brothers, pastors, firefighters, social workers, doctors, lawyers, and stay-at-home moms alike, blue collar workers, white collar workers, people from all walks of life, all races, religions, creeds, ethnicities, and origins will join together in support of a grand vision for change.
April 10th, 2010 will mark the very first annual YFCC Race for Health. For the first time in history, we will join together as a human race, not for the sake of finding or funding a supposed “cure” for disease, but for the sake of health itself. For the first time ever, we will join together in fellowship for the sake of promoting health and wellness, preventing disease, and living life to our fullest God-given potential.
So many races, runs, and walks have been conducted in the past in support of the “cure” for this disease or that one. Whether its breast cancer research, autism awareness, or the cure for cystic fibrosis, it seems every event supposedly for health is always fully focused on disease. How much sense does this make when what we’re really seeking is optimal health and human performance? Not one dime generated at these events goes to increasing the awareness of how to live a healthy lifestyle and prevent sickness and disease. Not one dime collected goes towards spreading the powerful message that we all know is the true foundation to healing from all sickness and achieving abundant longevity and vitality. Instead, the enormous amount raised from the donations of well-intended people goes in large part to drug companies – to BIG PHARMA – so that these companies can continue to manufacture their chemicals and brainwash us into thinking health and happiness come in the form of a little orange bottle with a white cap and a typed label.
April 10th, all of this changes. The morning of April 10th will mark a celebration of the human healing power, of responsible lifestyle choices for ourselves and for the people who depend on us, of overcoming adversity, and of understanding that all health, wealth, happiness, knowledge, and wisdom comes not from without – but from within. Join us in continuing to bring the truth to the masses, in saving and transforming lives, and in holding up the human race.

Be a Doer!

February 15 2010, was truly a turning point in my life for a number of reasons. I had my first adjustment. After over twenty five years of suffering with what the medical doctors called an enlarged prostate, I got my life back after only a 90 second adjustment by Doctor Dan. He was able to remove the blockage from the brain to the prostate with just one adjustment. I was then able to completely empty my bladder without the usual stress, strain, and pain I had been suffering with for the last 25 years. That one adjustment also ended 25 years of waking up 7 to 10 times at night to try to empty my bladder along with the difficulties associated with trying to manage this condition all throughout the day. I now have my life back and can now function in the way that our Grand Creator Jehovah God intended. YES, “The Power Is On Baby!"

That very same evening, I attended my first Extreme Makeover class. I can truly say that these past 6 weeks have been an enriching, eye opening experience for both my wife and I. In addition to restoring my normal prostate function, we have had our eyes of understanding open to the selfish, greedy deception, fomented by the “FDA”, “AMA”, “THE CANCER SOCIETY” and so many other big business organizations that should be more concerned with the life, health, and welfare of their fellow brothers and sisters of our human family. How true are the words of our Lord Jesus when he said: “And YOU will know the truth, and the truth will set YOU free.” John 8:32

Jesus’ half brother, the Apostle James once said: “… become doers of the word, and not hearers only ... For if anyone is a hearer of the word, and not a doer, this one is like a man looking at his natural face in a mirror. For he looks at himself, and off he goes and immediately forgets what sort of man he is. But he who peers into the perfect law that belongs to freedom and who persists in [it], this [man], because he has become, not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, will be happy in his doing [it]. (James 1:22-26) As Doctor Dan so nicely emphasized in his opening remarks each week, “we must be doers and not hearers only”.

My wife and I have become not "forgetful hearers, but doers [of the word]." For example, our shopping habits have totally changed. We now read with a greater understanding all labels before we make our selection of food items we purchase. We are completely off of all refined sugar, milk products, bad fats and processed foods. Other than a little fish and chicken, we are off of all red meats and fast food or should we say "toxic poisons”.

We have like-wise gone through the food we have already purchased before the EMO, to throw out all the poisons. We have replaced all the poisons with real organic food where possible. We will soon be sifting through our house hold cleaning items, to weed out all the poisons we may now have. Yes, we can truly say that February 15, 2010 was a turning point in our lives. It can only get better from this point on. Since that time, we have also been able to assist 8 other people to experience the blessings associated with the Yachter Family Chiropractor Clinic.

To sum up how we feel, after six wonderful week of intensive instruction, I would like to borrow an illustration used by our Lord and Master Jesus Christ after he delivered his famous 'Sermon on the Mount'. In that sermon, Jesus gave his listeners detailed instruction on how to successfully live their life. He outlined the things they should do and the things they should avoid. He then concluded his sermon with the following illustration: “Therefore everyone who hears these sayings of mine and does them will be likened to a discreet man, who built his house upon the rock-mass. And the rain poured down and the floods came and the winds blew and lashed against that house, but it did not cave in, for it had been founded upon the rock-mass. Furthermore, everyone hearing these sayings of mine and not doing them will be likened to a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand. And the rain poured down and the floods came and the winds blew and struck against that house and it caved in, and its collapse was great.” (Matthew 7: 24-27)

It is our hope that all those who had the privilege of attending the first 2010 EMO, will be like the discreet man who listened and built his house upon the rock-mass. For when the rains and the flood and the winds of life's adversities blow into our lives, because we have built our life on a solid rock mass by applying the many strategies we learned at the EMO, we will not cave in or collapse like the foolish man who did not listen and who built his life upon the sand which latter collapsed.

Keep up the good work Doctor Dan.

We love you and your staff.

How the Extreme Makeover has Changed My Life!

By: Sheri J.

Change is tough! Changing your lifelong belief system that is main stream is even tougher. The Extreme Makeovers have made me aware of different changes that I have needed to make in my life to live healthier, happier, and more physically fit. This is my 6th Extreme Makeover and each Makeover has made incremental changes in my life and by association my family’s lives. My girls and I have been patients of Dr. Dan’s for almost 5 years. I found Dr. Dan because I was searching for a more natural way to correct my daughter’s ADHD than the medication Strattera she was using. I came and listened to the Doctor’s report that Dr. Dan gave and knew this was the path that I wanted her to take as well as the rest of my family. She has been off Strattera for almost 4 years now, is a sophomore in high school and achieved a 3.9 on her grades last semester. Between getting adjusted every week and by implementing things I’ve learned about eating from the Extreme Makeovers, she has no need for the medication. Seeing her reach her potential is a blessing!

During each Extreme Makeover I have been challenged to make changes in my life and eating habits. In the first Extreme Makeover I attended, I learned that I really didn’t eat as healthy as I thought. I challenged myself to stop drinking coffee and using artificial sweeteners. We were taught to make just 1% changes and that was what I tried to do. Each Extreme Makeover I have made changes and continued these changes. I started drinking half my body weight in ounces of water each day. Then I added ¼ tsp of salt to the first quart of water I drank each day for a natural detoxification. I started cooking with Coconut Oil and my family really liked it.

Next came changing out the meats we ate for Publix Greenwise meats. At first my husband wasn’t sure about that change, but now he insists it tastes sooo much better. I started reading labels and eliminating foods from my house that had bad fats and bad sugars, especially high fructose corn syrup. I made more and more 1% changes that were really adding up. These changes were making a big difference in my health as well as my family’s.

The biggest change in my life happened last May. I discovered a leak under my kitchen sink. Mold was growing behind my cabinets. My health was compromised by the mold. I had a VCS test done in Dr. Dan’s office. I failed it! I had passed it before so I knew there was a definite problem. I didn’t feel good and I couldn’t concentrate or focus. After failing the VCS test I was given the dreaded news, “You must go on the Advanced Healing Diet to get well.” Wow! I had tried to do this diet once before with my daughter several years before and failed miserably. At that time I didn’t know enough about how to do it and the support system at Dr. Dan’s was not as established as it is now. I started the Advanced Healing Diet immediately. Not only was the diet a challenge, but I no longer had a kitchen to cook in.

The insurance company gutted my 1958 kitchen and killed the mold. My kitchen was blocked off with plastic for more than a week. So, I cooked on the gas grill outside. The grill also had one burner that I could use pots and pans on. We got a convection/microwave oven (I only use the convection oven) that was eventually installed in our new kitchen. I washed my dishes, pots, and pans in the shower or bathroom sink. We mostly ate at home so that I could eat healthier and we could save money for the kitchen we now had to install. It was July before I had a workable unfinished kitchen. It was September before my kitchen was completed.

Since May, I have come a long way on the Advanced Healing Diet. It is now just the way I eat. My family is not eating anything different than me when I cook so they are also reaping the benefits of a good diet. My health is much better. I have lots of energy. I feel younger. I feel great and my head is not cloudy. I am still about 90% on the Advanced Healing Diet after 10 months. Dr. Fernandez said I could eat certain grains to help increase my BMI. I could not have been as successful on the Advanced Healing Diet without the knowledge that I gained from the Extreme Makeovers, Dr. Dan, Dr. Fernandez and the YFCC staff, the Ambassador Healing Diet Support Group (which I helped start) and my good friend Diana who is also on the Advanced Healing Diet and is my accountability partner.

This Extreme Makeover I set goals to increase my BMI (Dr. Fernandez said I needed to raise it), increase my exercise and eat more veggies. I started working out with Max twice a week (YFCC boot camps). He has helped me raise my BMI as well as my muscle mass, muscle tone, strength, and endurance. I am working on incorporating more veggies into my meals or snacks. I now drink the Green Vibrance and Vega every morning. It is my “coffee”. My body craves it. I also drink green veggie smoothies with added wheat grass almost every day.

Every Extreme Makeover gives me encouragement and surrounds me with like minded individuals that give me inspiration. In July 2010 you will see me at the next Extreme Makeover, because God isn’t finished with me yet!

The Benefit of Exercise on the Brain

Benefit of exercise on the brain is the generation of large amounts of serotonin, the lack of which is why people take drugs such as Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor, and Prozac.

Exercise naturally boosts serotonin, which improves mood and can even snap you out of depression. It improves memory, decreases anxiety, helps with cognition, increases attention and focus, and helps with learning, especially for children. Children who exercise receive all the above benefits and therefore develop and grow healthier than kids who don’t. Because their brains are healthier, their bodies are healthier.

The more we exercise, the more oxygen we push into our bloodstream, the healthier we’re going to be and, thus, the more energy we’re going to generate. When we move, our cells get energized as they become oxygenated. Oxygen and glucose are the primary driving forces in the production of energy within a cell, so the more oxygen you can drive into a cell, the more energy you’ll have.

Getting to the cause!

Dealing with the cause; this is what chiropractic is all about. The miracle of chiropractic lies within its ability to find the underlying cause of dis-ease, sickness, and pain and to remove its source; without drugs or surgery. Why deal with symptoms when you can deal in CAUSE! If a person has diabetes, heart disease, cancer, neck pain, asthma, or headaches, etc. they will get NO better from drugging or treating their condition; in fact, they will get much worse over time, since drugs and other medical TREATMENTS seek to cover up, mask, or band-aid the symptoms while the person’s body is actually getting worse and more dis-eased; this will almost certainly cause an untimely death. Seems obvious, but not obvious enough to the 1.1 million Americans who were killed last year due to living a “covering up” lifestyle and followed their medical doctor’s advice of drugs and surgery to “fix” their problem.

One of the most important concepts to understand is that the PARTS are always more important than the WHOLE! For example, if you have a sick kidney or sick kidney cells, it is impossible for the rest of your body to be well. The kidney needs to be nourished with the right nutrients, plenty of healthy water, and most importantly full nerve supply. Even if the rest of the body is seemingly healthy, it never really will be if the filtering system is not truly functional. If the parts are sick, the whole will be sick. Likewise, if you treat a person with a heart problem with heart medications, that person’s entire body will suffer ill effects and never truly be well. In fact, the heart problem along with the medications will make that person’s entire body dis-eased.

The most critical component in staying well or keeping the parts healthy is making sure that the communication system that runs the body is free and clear of nerve interference (subluxation). Subluxation robs the body of vital messages that are designed to tell each and every tissue cell exactly how to run. Each tissue cell must receive healthy messages first, then the rest of the body can be well.

Chiropractic is based on a SIMPLE truth; that the body needs no help to heal, just no interference. To the right you will see under “normal” a picture of a healthy brain-body connection, where the brain is communicating with the cells of the body properly. Under phase I, II, & III, you are looking at spinal cords that are being interfered with due to stretching and compression; and as a result will be sending distorted messages to the cells of the body. Which spinal cord would you rather have? Which person do you think will be healthier? Which person do you think will live longer? Which person do you think will heal from the flu faster? Which person do you think has a better survival rate if they’re diagnosed with cancer? You see, this is why I became a chiropractor. It’s simple, it makes sense, it works, and because it is based on God’s laws of health and healing, it produces AWESOME CHANGES. Chiropractic’s only goal is to remove any and all interference to the brain-body communication, thus allowing the brain to send clearer messages to all tissue cells of the body; thereby elevating the healing potential of the entire body and allowing it to heal itself. The chiropractor isn’t the doctor! The doctor is already inside the patient. The chiropractor is just the facilitator.

DEADLY/AGGRESSIVE CANCER GONE!

ANOTHER HEALING AT YACHTER FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC CENTER

Clinical case: Mike Moton entered Yachter Family Chiropractic Center (YFCC) on October 14, 2008. He began receiving chiropractic care and started the Extreme Makeover 40 day challenge shortly thereafter. Prior to entering YFCC, Mike’s medical doctors had administered 2 sessions of chemotherapy in an attempt to destroy a rare form of deadly cancer known as pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The doctors gave him 4-6 months to live. After the second treatment, Mike decided to walk away from the chemotherapy and adopt a natural healing path, which included primarily chiropractic adjustments (removal of subluxation) and healthy lifestyle changes like improved diet, ingesting limited amounts of only organic meats, vegetables, and fruits, vigilant food label reading, exercising, and enrolling in the YFCC detoxification program. 90 days later, Mike’s cancer is gone. HE IS HEALED! This has been substantiated and thoroughly documented via medical diagnostic equipment and technology.

What created Mike’s extraordinary success? He followed everything we taught him at YFCC to the letter. He was an exemplary student, fully committed, engaged in the program, and put his full trust in the POWER THAT MADE THE BODY TO HEAL THE BODY! The doctors of course can’t explain it!

Time management does not work!

You have to be the master and not the slave to time and understand that real time management is not about TIME or MANAGEMENT. It is really about your goals and dreams and your own determination to have clear plans and clear boundaries. And when you have the skill of awareness that you really are the leader and captain of your own ship and that the core of great time management is just the clarity of goal setting, you’ll find that this realization will give you a whole new solid foundation and focus. Our January 18th workshop, “We will ascend in 2010” will show you how to set goals that will allow you to soar like an eagle all year long.

TOP REASONS WHY PEOPLE FAIL TO ACHIEVE THEIR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS:

1. Lack of clarity

2. Fear of change

3. Lack of accountability/negative consequences

1. Clarity: Write down your goal in specific detail. Make sure to state it clearly in the present tense. Thoughts take on added power when we write them down, but we must write them down in specific ways if we want them to manifest as real in our lives. For example, I write my goals as if they have already occurred. “I am working out with a personal trainer 2 times/week at 5am, weighing 170 lbs., 7% body fat, with a BMI of 21. Make sure to sign your name to your declaration and post it where you can see it every day. Also, post it where everyone else in your home can see it every day. That will really create some serious social pressure to see the process through. I like to also declare my goals and dreams in front of my patients. At one workshop over a year ago I declared that I would be fluent in Spanish by 2010. Patients continue to remind me of my commitment 1 year later. The pressure is on and I will accomplish my bilingual goal.

2. Fear: We need to eliminate anything that is in our environment that would remind us of how comfortable we were in our old state. We need to have visual and audible representations in our new environment representing a new season and a new direction in our lives. New conscious and subconscious programming must take place. We must begin to feed our minds a steady diet of positive and reinforcing images. We must get around people who’ll support and encourage our new direction. We must get around encouragers. We must get around friends and family who tell us, “Yes, it’s possible for you to change!” If we don’t redesign our environment to support our new direction, then the fear of change and the comfort of the old will always draw us back into our old, “pre-resolution” lives.

3. Accountability/negative consequences: Sorry, sheer willpower and desire won’t cut it. I struggle as much with disciplining my life as the next person. I find that the only way to achieve successful follow-through on goals, plans, and visions is accountability. There must be something or somebody to whom you must answer. There must be a negative consequence to you not doing what you said you’d do. There must be pain associated or connected to you not following through. You must have the realization that if you don’t show up, follow-through, or achieve your plan, your character, integrity, trust, or reputation will be tarnished or seriously damaged. There’s got to be a price to pay. The higher the price, the higher the chance of success! Tell a friend that if you don’t achieve the goal that you set, that you will give them $100, $500, or even $5,000. You pick the dollar amount. The only caution: the loss of the money must to be more PAINFUL than the disappointment of not following through.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR! ATTEND THE GREATEST WORKSHOP OF 2010: “HOW TO ASCEND IN 2010” to be held Monday night, January 18th at 7pm @ the Lake Mary Events Center. Invite all of your friends and family to join you at the event that will kick-off the next decade as well as the greatest year ever. At this workshop you’ll learn the goal planning ideas, success and life strategies, and the ‘visioneering’ skills of the top performers in every walk of life. Don’t miss the most important workshop of the year. This workshop will arm you with the tools and resources that’ll enable you to soar like an eagle in 2010. Together, we’ll soar like eagles in 2010 and work to achieve all of the dreams and visions that God has placed in our hearts.

CT Scans Cause Death and Cancer

Radiation from CT scans done in 2007 will cause 29,000 cancers and kill nearly 15,000 Americans, researchers said on Monday. The findings, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, add to mounting evidence that Americans are overexposed to radiation from diagnostic tests, especially from a specialized kind of X-ray called a computed tomography, or CT, scan.

"What we learned is there is a significant amount of radiation with these CT scans, more than what we thought, and there is a significant number of cancers," said Dr. Rita Redberg, editor of the Archives of Internal Medicine, where the studies were published. "It's estimated that just from the CT scans done in one year, just in 2007, there will be 15,000 excess deaths," Redberg said in a telephone interview.

"We're doing millions of CT scans every year and the numbers are increasing. That is a lot of excess deaths."CT scans give doctors a view inside the body, often eliminating the need for exploratory surgery. But CT scans involve much higher radiation dose than conventional X-rays. A chest CT scan exposes the patient to more than 100 times the radiation dose of a chest X-ray.About 70 million CT scans were done on Americans in 2007, up from 3 million in 1980. Amy Berrington de Gonzalez of the National Cancer Institute and colleagues developed a computer model to estimate the impact of so many scans. They estimated the scans done in 2007 will cause 29,000 cancers. A third of the projected cancers will occur in people who were ages 35 to 54 when they got their CT, two-thirds will occur in women and 15 percent will arise from scans done in children or teens. The researchers estimated there will be an extra 2,000 excess breast cancers just from CT scans done in 2007.

UNNEEDED TESTS: Redberg, who wrote a commentary on the studies, said U.S. doctors' enthusiasm for the tests has led to an explosion in their use that is putting patients at risk. "While certainly some of the scans are incredibly important and life saving, it is also certain that some of them were not necessary," Redberg said. In a separate study, Dr. Rebecca Smith-Bindman of the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues analyzed data from 1,119 patients undergoing the 11 most common types of diagnostic CT scans at four institutions in 2008. They found radiation dosage varied widely between different types of CT studies, from a median or midpoint of 2 millisieverts for a routine head CT scan to 31 millisieverts for a scan of the abdomen and pelvis, which often involves taking multiple images of the same organ. By comparison, the average American is exposed to about 3 millisieverts of radiation a year from ground radon or flying in an airplane -- a level not considered a risk to health. The researchers said efforts need to be taken to minimize CT radiation exposure, including reducing the number of unnecessary tests, cutting the dose per study, and standardizing the doses across facilities. Imaging equipment makers such as GE Healthcare, Siemens, Philips and Toshiba Medical Systems are working to develop low-dose CT scanners.

Are you ready to ascend in 2010?

***How the Extreme Makeover(s) Has (Have) Changed My Life

When I first started coming to Yachter Family Chiropractic Center, my interest was primarily to reclaim my “Arc of Life” which had pretty much disappeared after a whiplash injury from a motor vehicle accident almost 20 years ago. I was happy just to come in and get my chiropractic adjustments, have my subluxations removed, and sometimes do the exercises. I was feeling better than I had in years simply with the pain relief I experienced in my neck, back, and shoulders. Then I started attending the free educational seminars so kindly offered to all of Dr. Dan’s patients, families, and friends. I started learning new and interesting (and sometimes shocking) information regarding the importance of proper hydration, good supplementation, increasing alkalinity, exercise, and what good nutrition actually is. I waited for an Extreme Makeover event, which I had heard was a pretty amazing and motivating experience for a lot of patients. I started annoying and, I think, scaring, some of my family and friends as I often talked about all the things I was learning, what’s bad for us and what can help us be more healthy. But, I kept on talking; and making a few small changes here and there. It was very interesting stuff.

Finally, an Extreme Makeover was offered, and I attended most of the sessions; and began to learn even more. I caught the excitement of Dr. Dan and the crowd. I started drinking more water. I started sprouting almonds, and liked them. I attended parts of another Extreme Makeover, and started eating more vegetables and using sea salt. I attended most of another and started trying to shop more organically largely from Whole Foods, heavily utilizing their fresh prepared foods section, because I don’t cook much. I stopped needing to use Celebrex, which I had used for at least ten years. I signed up with Triumvirate, which I can tell you, is really spot-on with the services they provide. And I kept telling my friends about all of the new and amazing things I continued to learn. My morning coffee break conversation was constantly peppered with “guess what I learned at my chiropractor’s?” and “my chiropractor said…”

I attended another Extreme Makeover, and decided I was ready to get serious. I work in a hospital and made a commitment to take the stairs every time I descend floors, since I have problems with my knees and going up can be painful. I use the Xiser, even though I am not sure I am doing the bursts exactly right, but I’m not letting that stop me. I am taking more walks, breaking out my little dumbbells, and using my Lifestyle Family Fitness personal training sessions to learn better how to exercise at home. I’ve started cooking again after a 15 year hiatus. Because my work and schedule don’t allow for planning my shopping and food prep, I’m doing the best I can; and actually beginning to find that I, surprisingly, do have more time to do this than I thought. I’m still working on strategies for eating better when I travel, of which I do a lot, but Dr. Fernandez at the office is helping me with that. I’m having Vega for breakfast and using several of the office supplements which were recommended for me. I have finally worked my way up to drinking almost half my body weight in ounces of water. I’ve given up coffee, though I still love the smell and the fellowship around the break room table. I declined the very heavily promoted annual flu vaccination for the first time since working in a medical environment, as well as the H1N1 vaccination. My Visual Acuity Score, coupled with some recommended blood work, indicated some possible heavy metal exposure, so I am having testing for that, and Triumvirate is scheduling extraction of my silver/mercury fillings (Rick and Adam are also helping to keep me on track as I am working on retirement and estate planning, which I had severely neglected previously and was causing me significant anxiety). Right now I am eating Cocommune PaleoBars regularly as a snack instead of something out of the vending machines. I’m not a hundred percent off sugar, but I am getting there. It is surprising to me how the craving for sugar lessens over time. And as of today, I’ve gone down a pant size during this EMO.

I continue to pester my family and friends with all of the new things I am learning, but I am starting to see small changes in them as well. My daughter and son-in-law, as well as a coworker, are starting to use sea salt. My brother actually listened and asked questions this weekend as I explained why corn and white potatoes, the only vegetables he likes, are harmful for him. He expressed a reluctant (but hey, I’ll take what I can get) willingness to try mashed cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes, so we are planning to try that soon. Another coworker was impressed enough with my information tidbits, and watching my gradual lifestyle changes and pants-size-dropping, that she said she wants to come to the next Extreme Makeover with me.

Yes, I need to continue to work at this, to persist in solidifying and expanding on the good habits I have been acquiring. My story is not as dramatic as some: I did not lose thirty pounds, go off all my medications and have all my family and friends start chiropractic care. I still have weight to lose and medicines to discontinue as I continue to pursue better health. I still have friends and family yet to convince to try many of the lifestyle changes I am embracing. But as they say, slow and steady finishes the race, and that is my intent. I am thankful to have a doctor with such a well-rounded practice who is so committed to his practice and his patients that he never gives up on us.

Chains be broken, lives be healed!

RAY CASTRO’S EXTREME MAKEOVER
How Our Lives Changed in Just 2 ½ Months!

I was not planning to submit an essay for the Extreme Makeover contest. However, after attending last night’s Week 5 session, I realized how much Dr. Yachter’s program has impacted our lives. Session 5 was on how to read product labels and determine good and bad products. The next morning I began cleaning out our pantry, cupboards, and refrigerator of all bad products. We had been overturning many of our food items already, but I had not gone through everything and still had lots of bad stuff in the house. After I finished, I was not expecting to see the crazy sight piled at the front door: almost 20 bags and boxes of food that were toxic to our cells.
I just sat staring at all the bags and tears of joy rolled down my face – I realized that our lives and the lives of our children and grandchildren would never be the same again. They would be lives of health! Our blended family consists of 6 grown children and 7 grandchildren. Due to my partner Ray’s commitment to health through Dr. Yachter’s programs, everyone in the family has been impacted; from stopping immunizations, to changes in nutrition, body care, environmental products, and of course chiropractic care.

Ray evangelizes Dr. Yachter’s programs to everyone he meets; family, friends, coworkers, even strangers!

I am so grateful to Ray’s commitment to all of Dr. Yachter’s programs. Our families will benefit for generations to come. That’s why I felt compelled to write our story – well, really Ray’s story, because he inspired me so much through Dr. Yachter and his programs!

BACKGROUND: I met Ray over five years ago – he was plagued with multiple medical conditions. He told me how healthy and active he was most of his life, but all that changed when at 40, Ray underwent surgery to remove his thyroid due to a tumor. This set off a host of medical conditions, addressed with conventional medications, which caused more problems: high blood pressure, low potassium, sleep apnea, severe headaches, failing vision, increase in his chronic arrhythmia (the doctors wanted to put a pacemaker in him), anxiety, low energy, gas, nausea, swelling, joint pain and more. Nutrition was barely addressed by his medical doctors. The answer was always another prescription. Ray felt lousy most of the time for the last 15 years!
JULY 2009: So there we were, two young-minded, yet obese grandparents, feeling the aging process negatively impacting our lives. Aches and pains impeding our once active lifestyles. How had we turned into two Couch Potatoes, watching TV every night, eating bad food, and then sleeping restlessly, only to awake with low energy, and more aches and pains? During 2009, Ray ended up in the hospital three times. Batteries of tests were performed with no real conclusions for the cause of his ailments. His doctor increased his blood pressure medication, which exacerbated his problems.
AUGUST 2009: Then the storm hit… or should I say, the blessing came, complete with a rainbow and Pot-O-Gold! In August of 2009, Ray went on a business trip overseas and ended up in the hospital again. When he came home, he had respiratory problems and anxiety so bad he couldn’t go to work. His doctor admitted him to the hospital for a “few” tests. They kept him for three days to perform tests then released him with Xanax and Paxil, and a list of other doctors to see and tests to take.
Our lives had become a nightmare. Ray was panicked to be alone – he couldn’t sleep more than a couple hours at a time - his blood pressure was through the roof – he had anxiety so bad, he couldn’t breathe – he kept feeling like he was underwater – he had severe headaches – his arrhythmia was constant - he was in so much anguish – we couldn’t do anything or go anywhere…
After about a month of this surreal craziness, he was referred to Dr. Yachter by Carmen Betances who is a patient of Dr. Yachter. We are so grateful to her for telling Ray about Dr. Yachter! It was unfortunate that Ray had to endure such hardship, but the blessing is that we found Dr. Yachter, our Pot-O-Gold!!!

Rebuilding the temple

My name is Deanna Waller and I have been going to Dr. Yachter for over two months. I was introduced to his practice through a friend of mine and patient of his. I had chronic back pain in the thoracic region due to work related wear and tear. I had lived with it for years for many reasons. First of which I can't stand medications and I didn't want them. Second, I wanted a cure for the problem, not a short lived fix for the symptom. And lastly, because I procrastinate when it comes to my health! My mom had always told me that Chiropractors were quacks and not to trust them. When I went to my first assessment I was very leery and skeptical. By the second visit I met Dr. Dan and was impressed by his knowledge base. Now it is important to note here my family thinks I have somewhat of an addictive personality and that I put all my eggs in one basket. In other words, I am extreme when it comes to things I'm passionate about. I plainly view myself as one who is a truth seeker and once I discover it, that settles it. So after hearing Dr. Dan's lecture, I knew I was in good hands and I had to take advantage of this opportunity.

I had been praying for healing in my body because I am one of the rare Christians who believes it is God's will to heal ALL the time. So there I was watching, listening, and now working out my healing with fear and trembling! It's not easy, but I jumped on board and figured it was sink or swim time. Since I started with Dr. Dan, I have nearly lost ten pounds and the back pain has resided. I also have become an ambassador so that I can share the truth about healing with others just as I do about God's Truth regarding Salvation.

I have attended several of the free workshops and received lots of information on how to improve my well being. I also joined the walk/run club and have been going for three consecutive weeks after being challenged to do so in the Extreme Makeover. I have completely changed my diet and have incorporated many of the supplements they offer in the office into my daily routine. I have met many different people and heard many different testimonies encouraging me to keep plowing forward. Unfortunately, not everyone was as excited as me. My family thinks I'm a bit of a health nut and most of my co-workers look at me funny, but I know I'm taking a step in the right direction.

I feel God has led me to Dr. Yachter’s office to receive my healing and although I'm still not pain-free, I know it's just a matter of time. This has been a pivotal transformation for me and it inspires me to know that there are others out there with the same objective. There is nothing more rewarding than to know you are fulfilling your responsibility when it comes to taking care of your temple.

I look forward to learning more and achieving future goals because now I truly see there are “NO LIMITS”!!!!!
Thanks to Dr Yachter, Dr Leif, Dr Fernandez and all the behind the scenes staff at the office for their time and efforts to change the lives of those around them and to fight the good fight!

Chiropractic doesn’t cure CANCER!

This week another patient at Yachter Family Chiropractic Center (YFCC) has been cleared of their cancer diagnosis. In July 2009, Sue had a cancerous tumor the size of a tennis ball surgically removed from her colon. The oncologists recommended chemotherapy to get the rest of the cancer that was left behind. Sue took 2 chemotherapy treatments and then decided to quit and look for a natural route.
Sue found our office by way of fellow church members. She began care at Yachter Family Chiropractic in July. She immediately enrolled in the Extreme Makeover, began receiving chiropractic adjustments (enhanced nerve supply), adhering to the healing diet (alkalized with Supergreens and started a vitamin/supplementation/detoxification regimen), lots of prayer, and she also implemented many stress management strategies taught at YFCC.

Last week Sue’s CAT Scan showed NO CANCER. This case has been medically documented and the fact that Sue’s ‘alternative’ strategies healed her body is irrefutable. Her oncologist has expressed that he isn’t happy that she took a natural route, in spite of the reality that her body is healed. To date, Sue has lost 31 pounds (over the last 4 months), and is now happy to be healthy for the first time in her life!

Want more information on how this happened?
Then attend week #5 of the Extreme Makeover!

Remember, ONLY THE POWER THAT MADE THE BODY CAN HEAL THE BODY. Sue’s BODY HEALED BECAUSE OF THE POWER THAT GOD PLACED INSIDE OF HER BODY WAS ABLE TO FINALLY EXPRESS ITSELF WITHOUT INTERFERENCE. Chiropractic has never healed one disease. Only the POWER can!

No More Cancer

Thursday, November 12, 2009

Keep on keepin' on!

How the Extreme Makeover has changed my life
This writing is about my journey to improve my body, soul, mind and wisdom for my own and for my family’s health. My father passed away at the age of 55 from complications of hypertension and diabetes. I have been struggling with high blood pressure for 17 years. I know I am putting myself at risk if I do not control this blood pressure.
In 2003 and 2005 I became pregnant. Because of my health problems, I had two miscarriages. After that, I started gaining weight and my stomach blew up like a balloon. In 2006, I became pregnant again. Because of my health conditions, I had several problems during my pregnancy- high blood pressure (out of control), gestational diabetes (took insulin shots twice per day), edema, and toxemia. On April 12, 2007, during a routine check-up, my husband and I received the most horrifying news: my baby was not moving properly and her heart rate was dropping. I was rushed to the triage. I was admitted into the hospital and placed on bed rest. We found out the complications were because of my high blood pressure. My due date was May 21, 2007. April 16th, 2007 my pressure started going up again, so my doctor decided to induced my baby. On April 17, 2007, I delivered a baby girl 4lbs., 15oz, Trinity Grace. My husband and I plan on expanding our family within the next few years. Not only do I want to get healthy before having another baby, I need to.
After the birth of my daughter, I tried just about every fad diet out there. I would lose 10-20 pounds here and there, but I would always gain it back- plus some. One day I was talking to God and I asked, “Why am I struggling with high blood pressure, why can’t I lose weight, and why is my stomach so big?” I told God something is not right. I asked him to give me the wisdom and knowledge I needed to deal with these issues in my life. The same day I walked into Dr. Dan’s office and asked him what I needed to do to lose my baby weight and lower my blood pressure. Dr. Dan told me I needed to get adjusted, start the healing diet, and come to the Extreme Makeover classes. I never learned the correct way to eat until I started the Healing diet and attended the Extreme Makeover classes. My decision to join the Extreme Makeover and start the healing diet was an easy one. I have many goals for motivation: like looking good in a bathing suit, having more energy, but the most important goal for me is learning all I can in the Extreme Makeover classes so I help my family and other people I know.
On March 11th, 2009, I went to the doctor for a check-up, because the week before I was having problems with my blood pressure. When my doctor checked my pressure, she asked, “What are you doing, because your pressure is good today and you are losing weight”. That day my pressure was 130/80. I was so amazed, because my blood pressure has not been that low for 17 years. I told her about the healing diet and the extreme makeover. I have been on the Healing diet for about 5 weeks. I have lost about 7lbs and I am regaining my confidence and self-esteem and I have more energy than I’ve ever had. My 15-year high school reunion is approaching and 5 months ago I wasn’t planning on attending, but now I think I am.
Since I started the extreme makeover, I have a daily routine: I walk on the treadmill for 1 hour (3 days/wk.) and two days I run and walk on the track. I am still going to continue with the healing diet once the classes are over. With hard work, dedication, and support there is no excuse for failure. As a Christian, I have faith. Faith is believing all things are possible.

I AM SO PROUD OF EVERY EXTREME MAKEOVER PARTICIPANT FOR YOUR TOTAL COMMITMENT TO TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE---BODY, MIND, AND SPIRIT. YOUR FOCUS AND ENGAGEMENT OVER THE LAST 3 WEEKS HAS BEEN AWESOME! 3 MORE WEEKS TO GO IN THE PROGRAM, THEN A LIFETIME OF GOOD LIVING. THE CHANGES THAT YOU HAVE MADE ARE HONORING YOURSELF, YOUR FAMILY & FRIENDS, BUT MAINLY GOD.
KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON!

*WEEK #4 of the Extreme Makeover will be held Monday night, November 9, @7pm at the Lake Mary Events Center. The topic will be focused on toxicity, its effects, and detoxification/healing strategies. Don’t miss it…it’ll be awesome. There are 3 more nights left in this 6 week program; more than enough time to have your life transformed.

Still not too late!

Dr. Dan,
I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate your chiropractic care and the difference it has made in my life. I have been in 2 major auto accidents. The first one was about 12 years ago. Keeping it short, I tried every kind of rehabilitation and specialist there was in medicine. Trying to find answers and not accepting my condition as final. Not to mention all the medications and drugs I was on to try to live a somewhat normal life. The side effects were evident as well. After a year or two and getting 2nd and 3rd opinions, one medical doctor, as a final resort, said you may want to try a chiropractor.
At the time money was tight and I didn't try to find a chiropractor for about another year. I tried chiropractor care and found some relief. Because I have moved several times and have tried to find a chiropractor on each occasion, I have been to 7, yes, 7 chiropractors that I can remember. Most of them I was going regularly for more than a year.
Well, after getting some relief from all this care, I was still having to take medication periodically and could never leave home without aspirin. I’ve found one of the best chiropractors with you. I have not had to take any medication and feel the best I have felt in years. I don't wake up in pain and start the day like I used to years ago. I am excited about the difference you have made in the quality of my life. You have the best equipment in your office to help your patients and it is evident that your heart is truly to make a difference. I am excited about the things that you teach nutritionally and I’m looking forward to learning more. Not to mention being over all healthier, feeling better, being more rested, and energetic.
Dr. Dan, be encouraged in what you are doing and know that you are making more of a difference than you may even realize. The choice is with your patients wanting to make progressive changes and not selling out for many of THE LIES IN THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY. I take every opportunity to let the community know there is another choice for better health! Thank You Dr. Dan for your passion and heart to make a difference!
God Bless!

Did you miss it?

As I near the completion of yet another Extreme Makeover, it’s time to reflect on where I started, where I am now and where I want to be in the future. Well, it all started back on a November afternoon in 1956. I was born a twin weighing 2 lbs, 3 oz. and given less than an hour to live. Oh, that’s too far back!
I will backtrack five years to the point in my life where I had my gall bladder removed and four months later, my thyroid. At 47, I felt like I was OLD and spent much of the next year trying to figure out how to change my life. Fortunately, I found Dr. Dan and YFCC. Almost immediately, my migraine headaches stopped and other various ailments gradually disappeared. I never missed my adjustments and did my exercises, but something was still missing. When I signed up for my first Extreme Makeover, I realized what it was. It was time to take control of my life even more and learn all I could. That’s why I keep attending these events; so that I can educate myself to live a longer life than my parents – Mom died at 71 and Dad, 11 months later, at 70 years old. I also don’t want to end up in an Assisted Living Facility like my twin brother or take medications like my sister. Attending these Extreme Makeovers are my lifeline.
This particular EMO has been the most enjoyable, and when you participate and have fun, you retain more of the life-saving information that’s given out each week. At the beginning of the EMO, I weighed in at 174 pounds, which was bad enough, but the real shocker was my body fat percentage. I was 43.8% FAT and my BMI showed I was obese. This was totally not acceptable. It’s amazing how your eyes get opened when you see the numbers on paper. How did I let myself get like this again? I knew I had to put in the time to really do it right, and permanently this time. I took advantage of the special pricing afforded the members of the EMO and joined Lifestyle Family Fitness. My main purpose was for resistance/weight training. I knew I had the cardiovascular exercise covered since I walk, run, and ride my bike. I’ve been averaging at least 48 miles per week with my bike group and participate in the YFCC Run/Walk Club on Saturday mornings. The weight training has been challenging, but I’m seeing results already. According to the Tanita measurements, I’ve reduced my body fat and plan to keep going with this program until I get down to where I need to be. I still have a long way to go, but with Dr. Dan’s support, I know it will happen one day.
Five years ago, even three years ago, I never would have believed that I’d complete three 5k’s, a 10k, a 15k, a half-marathon, and the Disney marathon or that I’d be riding my bike and preparing to ride a 38 mile road race at the end of March; or that I would’ve had the confidence to actually climb the Rock Wall on a cruise ship. In my old life, I would’ve just stood aside and watched others doing it. I actually can’t believe how my life has changed, even now. It’s even better since I’ve met some good friends who share the same goals with me. Participating in the Extreme Makeovers has changed my life forever. Because of all I’ve learned about proper nutrition, I’ll never view food the same way again. I try to educate others around me as I see them put 7 sugars in their coffee or eating Mickey-D’s for breakfast each morning. They don’t listen, but it doesn’t stop me from trying to share all I’ve learned whenever an opportunity arises. And sometimes, they do listen.
Label reading, proper supplementation, and using green cleaning/personal care products will always be a part of my life. Maybe ignorance was bliss, because I can never go back to the way I was. This is my journey from here on out. After 52 years, I’m finally happy with my life and plan on being around for another 50 years, utilizing all I’ve learned at Extreme Makeovers and getting my all-important, life-saving adjustments. Thanks for changing my life forever. NO LIMITS!
